Long description:
The origins of this book lie in David Goldblatts simple observation that many of his fellow South Africans, regardless of their race and class, are the victims of often violent crime. I have asked myself, says Goldblatt, not least in the fear and fury of holdups with knives and guns, who are you? Are you monsters? Are you ordinary peopleif there are such? How did you come to do this? What are your lives?
And so began in 2008 Ex Offenders at the Scene of Crime, for which Goldblatt photographed criminal offenders and alleged offenders at the place that was probably life-changing for them and their victims: the scene of the crime or arrest. Each portrait is accompanied by the subjects written story in his or her own words, for many a cathartic experience and the first opportunity to recount events without being judged. To ensure the integrity of his undertaking, Goldblatt paid each of his subjects 800 rand for permission to photograph and interview them, and any profit from the project will be donated to the rehabilitation of offenders. Ex Offenders also features Goldblatts portraits and interviews of black subjects in West Bromwich, England, made in collaboration eith the community arts project Multistory.
Most of the people I have photographed are desperate to go straight and to earn a living without crime. In a world of high unemployment and often of cripplingly bad education plus a criminal record, many seem set up for failure. Yet most are full of hope. I see them therefore not as criminals, not as offenders, but as Ex Offenders. David Goldblatt
